As the vibrant Christmas season unfolds, the pursuit of the ideal gift takes center stage. In the Philippines, gift-giving is not just a tradition; it’s a cherished opportunity to express love and appreciation for friends and family. However, navigating this joyful ritual can be challenging, especially when considering the multitude of loved ones and budget constraints.

For those seeking assistance on how to approach gift-giving with both thoughtfulness and financial prudence, here are some creative tips:

1. Simplicity Reigns Supreme

Gifts don’t need to be intricate to be memorable. Embrace simplicity by opting for delightful food items, whether gourmet treats or homemade goodies. A special offer awaits RCBC Hexagon Club Credit and Debit Card holders, who can enjoy up to 50% off on their total food and beverage bill at Wildflour Cafe + Bakery, Wildflour Restaurant, and Wildflour Italian with a minimum single-receipt spend of PHP5,000.

2. Time is a Precious Gift

Reconnect with friends during the holiday season by inviting them to a gathering, and treat them to a meal using your RCBC Hexagon Club Credit or Debit Card. Enjoy discounts of PHP500 off on PHP2,500 single-receipt transactions at UCC Coffee and UCC Mentore Coffee & Bar, and PHP200 off on PHP1,000 single-receipt transactions at MOS Burger, Mitsuyado Seimen, and Coco Ichibanya.

Feeling particularly generous? Indulge in a buffet experience at Illo’s Home Buffet with your RCBC Credit Card and relish a 50% discount while creating lasting memories with your loved ones.

3. Sharing is Caring

For those challenging recipients who seem to “have it all,” consider donating to a cause close to their hearts. Utilize your RCBC Hexagon Club Credit or Debit Card for Christmas shopping, as RCBC pledges to donate PHP1 to Caritas Manila through the AY Foundation’s YGC Christmas Fund Drive for every PHP5,000 single receipt spent.

4. Love for Family

Celebrate growing families with thoughtful gifts for babies and children. Shop for essentials on the Edamama e-commerce site and use promo code RCBC600 to enjoy a PHP600 discount for new users, with a minimum spend of PHP2,500.

5. Experience Trumps Possessions

For those aiming for a more extravagant gift, consider the invaluable gift of experience. Support your loved ones’ travel plans by contributing to their expenses. RCBC Mastercard Credit Card holders can revel in up to 10% cashback on accommodation bookings through Booking.com, ensuring a memorable and budget-friendly adventure.

This holiday season, thoughtful and financially responsible gift-giving is the key to spreading joy without breaking the bank. Explore a myriad of options for budget-friendly gifting this Christmas by visiting RCBC Credit Promos and RCBC Promos.
